Aurora 1030C

Total Organic Carbon Analyzer

Aurora 1030C High Temperature

The Aurora 1030C employs high temperature

(680 C) catalytic combustion to oxidize and
convert organic compounds present in aqueous
samples to CO2 for measurement by a solid state
non-dispersive infrared (SS-NDIR) detector.

The high temperature combustion technique is

most effective for analysis of samples containing
high molecular weight, difficult-to-oxidize
organics (e.g; humic acid) at levels > 500 ppb C.

The Aurora 1030C is equipped with a patented*

two chamber combustion reactor that overcomes
problems associated with TOC analyzers that use
a single chamber reactor. The first chamber of the
1030C reactor contains a bed of quartz to protect
the platinum catalyst in the second chamber from
deposition of noncombustible constituents, and
ensures consistent oxidation conditions for stable
blanks. This reactor design extends catalyst life
and reduces instrument maintenance costs.

Combustion TOC Analyzer
The Aurora 1030C can be equipped
with a number of instrument options Aurora 1030D Dual Oxidation
and automation accessories to improve Mode TOC Analyzer
sample throughput and productivity.

1030D Dual Oxidation Mode

Analyzer option performs both high
temperature combustion and heated
persulfate wet oxidation techniques
on the same instrument (with manual
adjustment).

An 88-position rotary autosampler

fits directly underneath the 1030C
to conserve bench space.

ATOC software provides fully automated

data collection, analysis, reporting, and
storage in a LAN/LIMS environment.

Multi-stream sampling module for at-

line monitoring of up to four process
streams.
